They went on stage in Calgary  after listening to The Stew.  Perfect!!

I’ll see you in my dreams.   28 songs in one night.

Hour Two starts with Reason to Believe (live) and is followed by a select number of Grammy nominees that we play
Sue Foley – T-Bone Burnett, Beyoncé, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Mark Knopfler and 60 years later The  Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
New tracks from The Tragically Hip, Lucinda Williams Meets the Beatles, Willie Nelson.
And three classic tracks
Jimi Hendrix – Electric Ladyland was #1 in Nov  1968
Van Morrison released Astral Weeks in Nov 1968
And we finish this Stew with Eric Clapton and Wynton Marsalis doing an epic version of Howling Wolf’s Forty Four  –  Live at Jazz at Lincoln Centre.
The Band made up of the best musicians in New Orleans studios and street performers.

November 12, 2024 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Over 20 years of seasonal touring,  Barney and various members of Caribou Express raised Millions for charities all across Canada.
Especially, serious money for food banks late in the year when they really need it.
Barney gives us an update on the last lineup, the lives of his Express friends over the years and final thoughts on what lies ahead for the rocker and rancher.

TRR Nov 9 2024 Poplar Grove Merlot Celebration and two Whiskies – Sons of Vancouver & Rupert’s from Eau Claire

November 9, 2024 Tasting Room Radio

hello

THE SHOW

Welcome to Tasting Room Radio.
In the 17 years we’ve been creating and broadcasting TRR most of the stories and interviews have been about wine  & food.
Slowly but surely, we’ve added tales of cider, no/low wines, and the wild and wonderful world of whisky.
So here’s the mix this week -an exceptional Poplar Grove Merlot and two whisky houses.  Sons of Vancouver and Eau Claire.
We lead with a special release of Poplar Grove Merlot (2014) and the release of 2020 Merlot. Recorded On Merlot Day.
Chris Holler – VP/GM/Farmer  Poplar Grove – Naramata Bench
Along with Hillside, Poplar Grove is one of the originals on The Bench. Prime vineyards and strong leadership.
Now under the direction of the next generation of The  Hollers Family ...our guest is Chris Holler
Chris and I go over the quick history of Poplar Grove, especially its relationship to Merlot (thank you, Ian Sutherland)

Chris Holler and Family

Chris takes us through two Merlot releases..
Poplar Grove Merlot 2020 – Gone are the plum and vanilla notes from 2019.   The 2020 has dark ripe fruit, cherry, blackberry, currant and white pepper.
Engaged acidity and tannins to dream about.  $34.70 (at winery)
The star of the releases is the Merlot from the Poplar Grove Library Collection  2014. It takes its place in  the rest of the “collection” –
The Cabernet Franc and the flagship blend The Legacy.
 
Poplar Grove is the first winery to launch a formal library program, where they hold back a considerable amount of age-worthy wines each year and release them for sale a decade later. Very distinctive bottles and labels are constructed as metal medallions.
The 2014 growing year was the second hottest on record.
Originally it was ruby red, with eucalyptus and sage on the nose.
10 years later is brick red in colour, with notes of dried berry, ripe plum, the palate welcomes raspberry, big cherry and forest floor.
88% Merlot, 5% Cab, 5% Cab Franc, 2% Malbec  $82.52 at Winery.

James Lester -SOV

Sons Of Vancouver Realms of Rye

James Lester – Partner and co-founder of Sons of Vancouver
 
James returns to Tasting Room with another simply outstanding whisky.
The Realms of RYE. 
All tasting notes and flavours in each whisky have been amplified through the fermentation, maturation and blending process only.
The label has the mystery of a great short story. The bottle has 100% Canadian Rye matured in ex-bourbon and a new oak cask.
Lots of ripe fruit, java, fresh-picked mint and Quebec maple syrup.
The palate completes engages the senses. Everything you want in a craft whisky is right here.
If they enter this gem in the Canadian Whisky Awards in January in Victoria..they could very well win their second Whisky of the Year award.
Changing the expectations of craft whisky in Canada, one bottle at a time.
Thank you James….

Caitlin Quinn – Distiller/Blender Eau Claire Distillery

Caitlin Quinn – Distiller/Blender Eau Claire Distillery – Turner Valley, Alberta
 
Just like James, Caitlin has been with us several times before.
You’ll be reminded when she starts to speak in her thick Edinburgh accent.
When she starts talking about her whisky, Caitlin gets excited and her words spill over each other. But you get the sense that she loves what she does. It shows in the whisky.
Caitlin brings with her Rupert’s Exceptional Canadian Whisky – Awarded Best Canadian Whisky at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
dark brown sugar, and vanilla on the finish. Notes of candied ginger. Overall, engaging and smooth.
This delightful whisky will also be considered for Canada  Whisky of the Year in January at the Canadian Awards.
Thank you to all at Eau Claire Distilling.  Well Done
Thank you Caitlin

EP 325 | Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo & Jim brings his new solo album

November 2, 2024 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor…when they’re together on stage it’s a partnership to behold.
Both know well when to lean in for a lyric or harmony support.
Offstage, it’s a wild and crazy ride. Even when they agree, they disagree. They remain friends and literally remain family.
This interview was done many weeks before the songwriter’s Hall of Fame induction so the comments will be of interest.
Jim Cuddy is currently on his All the World Fades Away tour with his fine singing and songwriting son, Devin.
Nov 3 Red Deer
Nov 4  Lethbridge
Nov 6  Banff
Nov 7 Winspear Edmonton
Nov 9  Mission
Nov 10 Kelowna
Nov 12 Orpheum Vancouver
Nov 13 McPherson Victoria
Nov 14 Parksville

It doesn’t matter whether you see Jim Cuddy at Bo’s in Red Deer on the 3rd or at Massey Hall on the 27th. It’s the same engaging and memorable night.
FYI – Jim is singing a bit and signing a lot of his albums at select Indigo Stores across the country.
Nov 7 in Edmonton then…
Kelowna
Robson Store in Vancouver
Victoria

Details
Jim hooks up with Greg December 28 in Oshawa, then once around the neighborhood in Niagara, Windsor, Kitchener, and….Budapest in April.
Greg is laying low and likely writing songs and recording his new solo album.  Just guessing but it is what he does. He does it beautifully.
Enjoy

Mulligan Stew Nov 2nd 2024-2 hours of music. Wall to wall Thank you to our Donors!

November 1, 2024 Mulligan Stew

hello

Congratulations on completing the Fall Fundraising Marathon.
After all that TALKING it’s time for donor payback.
2 hours of music. Wall to wall.
At the top of hour two it’s our first Live at the Fillmore feature.
The music played by bands and artists at the Fillmore East and West in the late 60’s and throughout the 70’s is still the finest showcase of music that defined a generation.


Lead by the wildly outrageous Bill Graham The Fillmores in San Francisco and NY City were the very best showcase any band could get.
2 and at times 3 artists sharing the stage – one after the other.
They did 2 shows on Friday and Saturday nights. Bands could always bring guests on stage. Sometimes it was the same bands they were sharing the stage with.
Frank Zappa invited John and Yoko.
Triple bills were normal.
The Mothers of Invention, Buddy Miles Express and Chicago played on the same night.
Pairings like The Kinks, & Bonzo Dog!   Ike & Tina Turner with Fats Domino opening.
Most nights were recorded which is why there are many albums called Live at the Fillmore.
Top of an hour two on this Mulligan Stew  – in one live set is
Crosby Stills Nash and Young. When they liked each other.
King  Curtis and Billy Preston with a very funky My Sweet Lord.
Lucinda Williams
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The Allman Brothers (of course)
And The Grateful Dead (of course)

Also on The Stew.
Adam Cohen
Led Zeppelin
Robert Plant and Allison Krauss
Serena Ryder and William Prince.
Lake Street Dive
JD McPherson
Bobby Rush and Blind Boys
Rod Stewart and Booker T
Red Clay Strays
Dylan and friends – 30th anniversary

Also live 54.40 at El Mocambo

Many were suggested by  Fundraiser donors.

Happy Halloween
And thank you for A spectacular fundraiser.

EP 324 | Author Luke Whittall and his Sipster’s Pocket Guides Books

October 21, 2024 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Look who’s on a Roll – It’s this week’s guest,  Author Luke Whittall
 
Luke and his Sipster’s Pocket Guides Books.
In the third volume in the popular  Sipster’s Pocket Guide series, wine expert and educator Luke Whittall presents his latest top 50 British Columbia wines under $50 (including many under $30) and along the way shares his thoughts on wine country and common misconceptions about certain grapes, and offers up tangents on everything from scented candles to middle children to jazz hands.
With food and activity pairings that range from Thai noodles and pool noodles to classic rock and hootenannies, and an index of attitudes that lets you choose a wine based on your mood (come hither, dressed to kill, razzle-dazzle), the Sipster’s guides are equal parts freewheeling and focused.
Divided into chapters on sparkling, white, rosé, red, and dessert wines, the latest volume of Sipster’s will snap you out of a catatonic funk in the liquor store and stick around for a quiet evening paging through a book—perhaps this book and perhaps there’s even a wine for that.
Welcome to Volume 3, where a Viognier can be a lot like a bouncy castle, a red blend that is the icing on top of another layer of icing and also  a wine that will upstage Taylor Swift and Kayne and an adventurous evening calls for a certain Trebianno (not the guy from Friends . . . but then again, maybe?).
The Sipsters series are written in language anyone can understand. Words we all use and can remember a day later.
Make no mistake, Luke knows his wines from the vineyards to the bottle. He just makes the journey much easier than it really is.
We also start TRR with a conversation about vineyard damage & recovery,   plus the coming discovery of BC Wines made with Washington grapes.
So those damaged vineyards, wineries and wine-farming families can survive the next couple of years.
And heads UP – The Sipster’s Ontario Vol 2 is coming – just in time for Christmas.
Then surely, the Luke Whittall film starring Ryan Reynolds.

EP 323 | Natalie MacLean – Wine Witch on Fire

October 12, 2024 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

The full title of Natalie Maclean’s  memoir is 
Wine Witch on Fire Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Defamation and Drinking Too Much.
 
For all of you who bought and read Natalie’s  book Red, White and 
Drunk All Over and listened to her podcast Unreserved Wine Talk, this memoir is a completely different read.
She discovers her husband of many years is leaving the relationship and at the same time, her wine rivals decide to tell the wine world that she’s not nearly as accomplished as we think.
Despite multiple awards for her writing and knowledge, Natalie has to rebuild her career, fight for her son and find an elusive second chance in a business that rarely gives you any.
All of this drama is played out in a wine world where many women are taken for granted and rarely given credit for their skills.
Yup – Wine Witch is a thriller. And it’s funny, just in time for Christmas.

You can get Natalie MacLean’s new memoir Wine Witch on Fire: Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Defamation, and Drinking Too Much in paperback, ebook or audiobook from these retailers.

She hosts the podcast, Unreserved Wine Talk, and offers popular online wine and food pairing classes at www.nataliemaclean.com.
